Do a sponsored quit

New Year, new start, why not kick that unhealthy habit. Smoking, alcohol or just too much cake, whatever it is, get sponsored to give it up! It's the ideal opportunity to feel good and fundraise for Alzheimer's Society.

How to get started

Organising a sponsored quit is not only an easy fundraising event, but can also be a great way to kick an unhealthy habit which will leave you feeling great.

Decide what you want to give up and for how long - a month, a year, forever; remember to be realistic with your goal!

Set up a Justgiving page and send the link to all your contacts. Make your page as funny, interesting and unique as possible to encourage people to donate.

Begin your quit! Remember to use social media, such as Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word and promote your Justgiving page.

Order a fundraising pack filled with lots of handy hints and tips to help you with your fundraising. If you would like any more information on how to organise a ‘sponsored quit’, then please call us on 0330 333 0804 or email communityevents@alzheimers.org.uk.
